This week we learned about the incredible artist Kehinde Wiley 🎨✨

Wiley is known for his vibrant portraits of young Black men and women set against bold, dramatic floral backgrounds. His artwork celebrates power, confidence, fashion, versatility, and the beauty of the Black community.

Inspired by his style, we created our own floral backgrounds and added our smiling self-portraits to showcase the beauty within our own community. 🌸😊

It was a powerful way to celebrate who we are and express ourselves through art!

Hosting and attending our card exchange last week gave students the chance to practice real-life party skills like carrying a tray, setting the table, pouring from a pitcher, and sharing space with friends.�
Students also participated in planning our classroom celebration by choosing activities, helping prepare, and following shared expectations. And yes… sometimes we spilled a little along the way, because learning includes trying, problem-solving, and trying again. �
Life skills have never looked so sweet.💕

At LEEP and Quantum LEEP Academy, we believe environment is not just where learning happens — it’s how children feel safe, regulated, and ready to grow.

As we listened to our community and reflected on this season, we chose to expand access by moving Designing Spaces, Building Futures into an online silent auction, allowing families and supporters to participate in a way that feels flexible, supportive, and pressure-free.

Every item in this auction directly supports the creation of warm, inclusive, neuro-affirming spaces for our students — and a nurturing environment for the team who supports them every day.

This is just one chapter of a longer story. We look forward to celebrating together as these spaces take shape.
Thank you for believing in our kids, our team, and the future we’re building — together.

*Important Update*
As we’ve reflected on timing and the realities families are navigating right now, we made a thoughtful decision to shift this fundraiser to an online silent auction. This allows us to meet our community where they are, while still moving the vision forward in a meaningful way.

We’re excited to share that Designing Spaces, Building Futures will now be live as an online silent auction.

As we reflected on timing and the realities families are navigating right now, we made a thoughtful decision to shift this fundraiser to a fully online format. This allows us to meet our community where you are — offering flexibility and accessibility — while still moving this important vision forward in a meaningful way.

This change isn’t about less commitment; it’s about alignment with the values we live every day: support, inclusion, and care.

The purpose remains the same. All funds raised will go directly toward creating warm, safe, neuro-affirming spaces for our students — environments where children feel regulated, supported, and ready to grow. These spaces also nurture the dedicated team members who show up each day to do deeply meaningful work with your children.

Every item in this auction directly supports the environments our children learn, regulate, and thrive in every single day.

Please stay tuned for the online auction link and details on how to bid — we’ll be sharing that information shortly. We look forward to inviting you to participate in a way that feels easy and accessible.

We’re so grateful for your flexibility, your encouragement, and your belief in this work. It truly matters!

Same Vision. Bigger Access.

We believe in meeting people where they are, and that includes our community.�
To make participation easier and more inclusive, we’re shifting our fundraiser to an online silent auction experience.�
Because building beautiful, safe, neuro-affirming spaces should be something everyone can be part of — no babysitter required 😉�
